@Dirty:

WOW I had no clue OD's turn out like the pics in the shop.  I thought they stayed relatively dark blue/black

I am pretty sure the pair in the shop was one which the owner used a spray bottle or some sort of dampening technique to achieve such crisp combs. Just so there is no confusion.

My understanding is he used to wet the backs of the knees and then do squats

Yeah that sounds about right.

[Dirty Denim]

Is that frowned upon?

[Giles]

By some.  Personally I don't give a flying fuck what people do with their jeans…..

Me neither. That is why I have my own closet.

gotcha

MikeC you very well could be right.  It really looked like that thread was picking up the OD.  Maybe I'm seeing things.  This was never a big concern of mine.  More a random thought that came to mind.

[derivative666]

Thread on sb looks great do not be concerned

Mr. UPS man came thru today.  These bad boys came as advertised.

G even sent leftovers.

Black all the way thru.  For now.

Congrats JCar beautiful Jeans. Enjoy it. Mrs and Mr G's service is excellent and superfast

[JCar2666]

Their service is 2nd to none.

[JCar2666]

Still taking these all in.  Waiting for the right moment to remove tags haha.  Hope these never go extinct.  Might have to buy a backup pair if they ever come close to that.

I totally understand what you're going through, JCar.  A couple of weeks ago I got my first pair of OD (Beatle Buster fit) and they are just sensational.

Just like you, I spent a long time inspecting and marvelling at them, and kind of felt bad when I had to de-tag them! I've got a bunch of awesome jeans, but never had anything quite like the IH overdyes.

And then you wear them and realise….holy fuck, these things are comfortable straight away.

Oh, and I love this picture. The OD's actually make that hideous red carpet look good!

Hey! that's my wool blanket for my bed you're talking about.

[Matt]

And what a beautiful blanket it is!

[JCar2666]

Hey G,  I was reading thru the earlier days of this topic and I noticed that you can get these shortened for people straight from the factory.  So this means I could get my regular inseam of a 32" right from the factory with the OD hem an all?  On the next production run of course.

sorry dude, I LOVE your blanket! 

(but your jeans are better  ;))

[JCar2666]

That's more like it.  Only breaking your balls obviously.  We are now way off topic.

No.  We used to do that before I got a Union Special, but anyway the hemming was done post production, so it would be the same as I do anyway.  And you wear those suckers for a month and you won't notice the difference anyway.  It is exactly the same thread as used in the factory (because that is where I get it from), it is just missing a tiny bit of dye….
